Elisabeth is well-travelled and as a socialite she's known for her style and impeccable taste. She's been featured in the society pages of magazines and has been named a style icon to watch.
Money has never been an issue for her and three husbands later, she feels she's benefited from the practice run. Practice makes perfect is one of her mottos, as is "don't judge others least ye be judged".
These little moral quips are things she likes to use and apply in unconventional ways.
